title: [Recent progress in study of oral insulin delivery].
abstract: Pharmaceutical researchers at home and abroad have been working in pursuit of an effective, easy-to-use and safe way of non-injecting insulin administration. Oral insulin was considered to be one of the ideal administration ways for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. In this review, we introduce the clinical value and progress of oral insulin delivery in recent years. The mechanisms, therapeutic effect, limitations of oral insulin delivery, and the future perspectives in this research field are also discussed.
